First Claim
1. A method for collecting, storing, and analyzing information, comprising:
- provisioning a first mobile data storage unit at a first location, the provisioning comprising installation of an analysis software to ingest and process a single data type or a related family of data types in a namespace;
transporting the first mobile data storage unit to an area of operations at a second location;
connecting the first mobile data storage unit with one or more mobile data storage units in a peer-to-peer network;
collecting information in the area of operations;
wherein the first mobile data storage unit is optimized for a single data type or related family of data types to ingest the data types, search the meta data for the data types and disseminate the data types to other processing and application system environments.

Abstract
A scalable network of mobile data storage containers that are connected in peer-to-peer networks to archive large data storage capacities. The various embodiments provide a method of extracting a large amount of data from a variety of sources and storing the extracted data in mobile, storage units. The various embodiments provide storage units housed in mobile containers that can store multiple days/weeks of sensor data in the order of petabytes (1024 terabytes). The various embodiments, integrate high performance computing devices into the mobile storage containers that are able to perform critical extraction, pattern, and index processing on the sensor data. The various embodiments, provide a method for the efficient physical transport of the mobile storage containers from current locations to a center analysis location for re-connecting in another peer-to-peer network for integration into a central enterprise data warehouses.
